Chapter 19: Demonic Lust Over Her

Inara awoke to find herself in a well-dressed carriage; she noticed someone sitting next to her; upon closer inspection, she discovered it was her husband, "My husband, where are we going?" 

"Home, "Why didn't you get me up? I might have delayed…, "You were still sleeping, wifey, and you weren't too heavy for me, "Are you saying I am always heavy, huh?"

"Yes, wifey. But you don't have to worry about it, "Have always wanted to ask you about something, may I go ahead?"

"I'm all ears, "How many mistresses do you have in total? I feel like you didn't choose me as a perfect wife since they are better than me in my ways," Inara stated, drawing Alexander's entire attention to her, "Mention those facts,"

"They make you happy, you always want them, and you hurt me because of them. Isn't it evident that they are far better than I am? I think…, "Do you think so? Well, before I married you, I had a number of mistresses, but once you became my wife, I got rid of them. Franking speaking, currently I had no mistress," Alexander replied, this was the perfect answer Inara was seeking for.

"I know I can't never have you to myself alone; I was only curious about the number of women my husband had been sleeping with," she said in whispers, and they never said anything further after their talk.

—------

"My lady, why are you suspecting I am more happy today? You….., "Your look tells it all; tell me what happened, I'm very curious, "I had my first kiss, though he didn't seek my consent before kissing me," Yivanne mumbled nervously, hiding her face in embarrassment.

"Who is the lucky man? I want to know how he successfully stole my girl's heart," Inara questioned with eagerness in her eyes. Yivanne realized she could keep the secret with her since it's safe, "You won't tell anyone?" she inquired in a low, whispering tone. Inara shook her head affirmatively.

"Zephyr kissed me last night while I went to pass the night with him, "What? He did…., "Everything he said made me nervous till now, and I don't want Young Master to discover that we kissed," Yivanne murmured, and Inara patted her on the shoulder, grinning, "Your secrets are always safe with me; I would never tell him. Okay?"

"Okay, "So, how does it feel when he kisses you? He eventually took your first kiss, and I'm wondering about how it feels, "It felt wonderful, and he probably knew it was my first kiss before kissing me. But then he bites my lips, "Is this related to the kiss?"

"Yes. He claimed he needed to stop or he would do something even insane," Yivanne said, her confessions filling Inara's heart with anxiety for how she would feel or react when she kissed Alexander for the first time. Alternatively, it was most likely worse than she had anticipated?

Basil appeared out of nowhere and approached Inara, "Long time no see," he murmured with a bloody and frigid smile. Inara was returning from the garden after eating her breakfast.

"How may I help you, Your Highness?" she inquired gently; in her sweetest voice, "You can only be of my help with this," Basil answered, and five guards appeared, hauling Inara away.

"Make her suffer; I want her to feel three times the misery that her idiotic husband caused me. You might think he'd come save you like the last time, but no one is going to save you from my fury because your so-called husband is currently abusing one of his mistresses while abandoning you. Do you understand what that means?"

"No, he can't cheat on me; he vowed not to. You're simply setting him up to achieve what you want!" Inara cried furiously, yelling at the top of her lungs, "If you see him again, ask him where he went this morning and what his plan was. Let's watch how he responds to you, savage wife of a fool," Basil cursed profusely, and the guards ultimately pulled Inara out of sight. As a punishment, she was sent to the most horrific place ever.

—------

Alexander walked into King Gael's palace, where Inara was scheduled to be executed by Basil. He declared her to be dead for nearly murdering his beloved son.

As they prepared to chop her skull with the sword, a mysterious voice sounded in the air, "Hold on!" all eyes went to the intruder, only to learn it was him, "Behead me instead, face me directly, and don't pursue my wife," he screamed vehemently. Inara's eyes widened in surprise. Are they actually going to behead him?

"Begin with whatever is required, "I will not ask you to decapitated, but rather make you suffer," Basil replied coldly, as a guard gave him the most toxic whip, and he began flogging Alexander excessively like a wizard.

Every lash that landed on his back sent anguish and misery into Inara's heart, therefore she sought to free herself from their firm grasp, but they were too powerful for her to overcome.

"Let go of me!" she cried, tears streaming down her cheeks from dread and terror of losing him. After whipping him to their satisfaction, they left him alone and took Inara away.

—------

Inara was about walking to their personal room when she noticed Alexander looking entirely different, with an impersonal expression on his face. Her eyes widened as she saw him take someone's intenstine out with his bare hand.

He said darkly, "I don't need your heart; this is what you get for hurting my wife," the guard gasped for air and dropped dead on the floor, making Inara gasp in astonishment and disbelief. Was her eyes decieving her? How is it feasible for him to take off someone's intenstine with his bare hand?

Alexander turned to face the intruder after hearing her gasp, only to discover that it was his wife. Had she witnessed everything that occurred?

"Wifey, it's not as you imagine. I can explain…," Inara bolted out of his sight, not wanting to give him listening ears. What has she just seen?

—------

"My darling, I don't understand what you're saying; you saw him rip someone's intestine with his bare hand? Perhaps it was an illusion…, "No, I clearly saw him take out his intenstine; have I gone crazy?"

"No, but perhaps you should confirm it yourself. You cannot see that; confide in him," Gwen advised, she felt bitter to see her sober, and she wanted she could possibly be of help, "But I can't; I'm terrified. What if this is real?"

—--------

Alexander saw Inara on the doorstep, looking depressed and confused, he wanted to approach her, but it began to rain heavily. After a while, he no longer sees her there.

"Wifey, you need to change; why are you staying inside the pouring rain alone?" 

"It shouldn't concern you anyway. You don't care about me; I'm just a cause of grief!" she shouted out in rage, intending to walk away, but instead she fixed her attention on him.

She began advancing towards him, gradually narrowing the gap between them, "I know this sounds crazy, but can you kiss me?" she blurted out fortunately, and Alexander fixed his brows at her wide-eyed.

"I would like to know how my lips feels on yours," Inara remarked, promptly crashed her lips on his, though she had no idea what to do next, but Alexander surprises himself by nibbing on her lips hungrily; while she was neither reciporating.

But he abruptly stopped kissing her as he realized his Demon desperately wanted to taste her there! He finds it strange, but he can't stop himself from doing what he wants, "Does your mistresses lips taste sweeter than mine felt on yours?"

"You don't have to always bring this matter up, "Really? Then why did you continue to cheat on your wife? If you knew I was so horrible for you, you shouldn't have married me, and you shouldn't have made me endure the pain I'm experiencing right now. I don't enjoy this marriage; why can't you teach me the values of being your wife?"

—-----

"What am I doing here?"

"You fainted, wifey," Inara stood up and attempted to leave, but a solid arm grasped her hands tightly, pinning her to the pillow, "What are you doing?" she stutters, panting heavily, "Why do your words make me feel guilty? You want a proper kiss, wifey?" Inara nods in agreement.

Alexander leaned closer to her, and after a few moments, he was kissing her with more lust, desires, and want than the first kiss they had experienced. Inara finds this alluring; the deeper his lips penetrated her throat, the more an unknown emotion surged through her body.

He was attempting to maintain his commitment to her, so he broke off the kiss after a long time. Rather, Inara was looking deeply into his eyes, "Anything wrong with the way I kissed you?" he asked.

"No, but I suddenly wish you could stop seeing your mistresses so you could kiss me every night. Soon, my lips will taste wonderful on yours, "Hmm, wifey, you need to rest. So go to bed," he said, avoiding eye contact with her before releasing his grip on her.

His Demon doesn't appear very often, so why was he reacting negatively to her lips' impact? What did she do to him?

His Demon was more focused on how he would feel if he finally had a taste of her. Without realizing it, his eyes were turning red--not for blood, but for lust he's suddenly develolping over Inara.
